The remainder of this section is relevant only if you are not installing
Regina via the self-extracing installation.

Installation is simply a matter of copying the regina.exe and regina.dll
files into a directory specified in your PATH environment variable.

If you want to have Regina error messages displayed in you native
language, set the environment variable; REGINA_LANG to the two-character
language abbreviation (the first two chracters of a file in the NLS
directory), and set REGINA_LANG_DIR to the directory containing the
*.mtb files.

If you wish to be able to run Rexx programs automatically, ie without
specifying the regina.exe or the file extension, then run the following
Windows commands from a command prompt: (you only need to do this once)

C:\> ftype Regina=c:\regina\regina.exe "%1" %*
C:\> assoc .rexx=Regina
C:\> set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.rexx

The above commands assume that regina.exe is in c:\regina and that you
only want to execute Rexx programs that have an extension of .rexx.
Add another ASSOC command to associate files with other extensions.

You will probably want to set the PATHEXT variable in the Environment
section of the System Control Panel applet.

Regina Resources
================
For more information on Regina, visit the Regina Home page at

If building Regina from source, always unzip the source to convert the
Unix end of line characters to Win64 carriage return/end of line characters.
With InfoZip, this is "unzip -a".

Cheers, Mark.
